Today I got an email telling me I was in the top 5% of LinkedIn profile views for 2012. Is that crazy or what? I did decide I wanted to have 1000 contacts by the end of 2012. I decided this around 10/1/12, and I think I had about 500 contacts. I was able to achieve my goal pretty easily. I'm sure that has had something to do with my number of views. It will be interesting to see if I can maintain this status in 2013.

I think back fondly to the time when I had nothing to do except spend time with my friends and partner, write for my blog, and decide what to have for my next meal. Currently, I'm working constantly on homework assignments, plus trying to build my team at the startup I'm working for (Adapt Courseware).

Here's a picture of the bookshelf above my home office desk. It will five you an idea of what I'm reading and thinking about these days! Next quarter I'm doing an independent study on Team Cognition (I can't wait!) and for the summer, it's going to be a stats course (and I actually LOVE stats!) But after that we will see.
